Schema Markup adds whitespace
-
We have this white space below our logo when our local schema markup is added: http://d.pr/i/73EmV0
Can the markup be hidden to remove the space and still be indexed by google?

Always use Google's easy tool to check if it's correct :
https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/
Droplr https://d.pr/n/kcCofm of code you need to add your logo & price range but you need to swap that out with a copy of the image uploaded to your server you can see where I added a Droplr URL just create a JPEG or PNG of your logo please replace with URL from your server the logo is here too https://i.imgur.com/NIcoDG6.jpg
I added the all your information above, your hours, social media URLs, longitude latitude for geo-coordinates, everything but the pricing which is explained below. you can add by simply putting this in "priceRange": "$$",
GeoCoordinates","latitude":35.23783,"longitude":-80.909208}
time convert Your hours 7:00 am = 7:00 7:00 PM = 19:00 & 5:00 PM = 17:00
time: http://projets.pavie.info/yohours/?oh=Mo-Th 07:00-19:00; Fr 07:00-17:00; Jan 16 off

Pricing
to add price range ad price and/or the number of $ from 1 to 3 very pricey $$$ the number of dollar signs indicates your price vs. the competition "priceRange": "$$", Like below.

| | itemprop="streetAddress">2731 Interstate Street |
| | itemprop="addressLocality">Charlotte, |
| | itemprop="addressRegion">NC |

Hey Kevin,
Can you show me code your using for local schema?
if you are using Microdata it is most likely something modifying the code and making the white space.
One thing you can do is switch to JSON-LD it is faster and much easier to deploy. You can also use this tool to re-create your schema and check it with Google Webmaster tools in either format.
https://technicalseo.com/seo-tools/schema-markup-generator/ It even validates with Google.
I hope this helps,
Tom
PS Droper rocks I wish everyone used it.

Unsolved Duplicate LocalBusiness Schema Markup
Hello! I've been having a hard time finding an answer to this specific question so I figured I'd drop it here. I always add custom LocalBusiness markup to clients' homepages, but sometimes the client's website provider will include their own automated LocalBusiness markup. The codes I create often include more information. Assuming the website provider is unwilling to remove their markup, is it a bad idea to include my code as well? It seems like it could potentially be read as spammy by Google. Do the pros of having more detailed markup outweigh that potential negative impact?

Schema training/resources for local SEO?
I am currently in the process of apply schema for dozens of clients (many are large retailers). Although I am not a developer, I do know the basics of schematic markup & structured data. I do work with a development team and I'm trying to provide them with schema application best practices. Obviously there are many good articles/blog posts out there about schema. However I'm looking for a more substantial training course, webinar or resource website about schema application. Does anybody have any good recommendations?

Duplicate Schema within webpage
I'm implementing schema across a few Wordpress sites. Most (probably all) WP sites use widgets for their footer, which offer their own editable HTML. Is it damaging (or helpful) to implement the exact same markup in the footer and a specific page, like for instance, a locations page that has the address and contact info (which are also in the footer)?

Schema for same location on multiple sites - can this be done?
I'm looking to find more information on location/local schema. Are you able to implement schema for one location on multiple different sites? (i.e. - Multiple brands/websites (same parent company) - the brands share the same location and address). Also, is schema still important for local SEO? Thank you in advance for your help!

Will NAP Schema Impact non local searches
Hi, Just got a business address and a toll free number for my website. I have read that adding the NAP details schema to the site gives that additional weight of trust to Google and also helps local search. Now my website is NOT local. However, if I add my LA address details on my website using the Local Business schema.org, it might give Google the impression that I am based out of CA. Fair enough, but my question is, will it impact negatively for SERPs from other states. For example I might want to rank for KW "Autism Alternative Treatment". Obviously now that I have added my NAP, if someone keys in Autism Alternative Treatment LA or Autism Alternative Treatment CA, google should give my site preference. But if someone searched Autism Alternative Treatment Arizona, will google exclude/downgrade me (even though there may not be a local site for Arizona) from the search results under the pretext that I am not Arizona based? Your suggestion would be very helpful.

Schema - Street Address
I'm starting to use schema on a site currently working on the business address in the footer. What is the correct way to use data that has more than one line? So for example the address is something like "Unit 1, Some Farm, Some Street..." Unit 1, Some Farm Some Street or Unit 1, Some Farm

Does Schema Replace Conventional NAP in local SEO?
Hello Everyone, My question is in regards to Schema and whether the it replaces the need for the conventional structured data NAP configuration. Because you have the ability to specifically call out variables (such as Name, URL, Address, Phone number ect.) is it still necessary to keep the NAP form-factor that has historically been required for local SEO? Logically it makes sense that schema would allow someone to reverse this order and still achieve the same result, however I have yet to find any conclusive evidence of this being the case. Thanks, and I look forward to what the community has to say on this matter.
